Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Are you sure you aren't standing still while turning the world under your feet, like an enormous track ball?

She said he also did Bam Bam on the Flintstones and a bunch of other cartoon stuff.

I had a customer at a garage who was a voice over artist and she did little girl voices for lots of commercials. She would speak to us in that voice and it was amazing.

Then there's H. Jon Benjamin, who uses the same voice - his own - for all the characters he does.

Two of us did 55 miles today with a few thousand feet of climbing and I felt pretty good, all things considered. It was about 90 when we finished but it was fine.

Mrs John says he was Dr Katz. And Archer.

She checked and it was Dr Katz' son.

Going to see if I can set a quasi-jogging PR on my "new" knee.
